WINTER HAS ARRIVED.






Well, Winter has arrived for real now.   It started out like this on Friday, which didn't seem so bad.








But by Sunday,  we had a full dump.  That's enough to put me "down in the dumps".  Winter is not exactly my favorite season.  I guess it's age related.  When your young, you go out there and enjoy some winter activities that are available out there.

Our Central Park, pictured here will soon be transformed.  The soccer field will become a skating rink, and the water slide at the far end will become a toboggan slide.  But we are getting too old for that kind of fun.  Who needs a broken hip?

When it finally stopped snowing on Sunday we went to Twyla and Andy's place for a little boater's get together.  As Andy called it "A Picnic Table Get Together" , which we are all suffering a little withdrawal from.  It was a very nice afternoon, visiting with boating friends.

So, now that my winter blahs have set in, I have to really push myself to get moving and do anything.  Even blogging.  I have a couple of sewing chores to complete here, so that will hold my attention for awhile, but it's still far to soon to turn my attention to our journey south to Texas.

I just wish the lull between "Boating Season" and "Texas Vacation" wasn't quite so long.

NO MORE BOATING UNTIL SPRING


We made a quick trip out to the hangar on Saturday.  We have had to face the fact that the weather is not going to improve enough for us to do our fiber glassing until spring.  So it was time to go out to the boat and pick up a number of items that we use both on the boat and in the trailer.

I have a Sewing Kit, a Craft Kit, a Spice Rack, a First Aid Kit and a Manicure Kit, that all serve double duty, both on the boat and in our Trailer in Texas


While out at the lake we stopped in to visit Gord and Ellie Gowie, who were busy putting up their Christmas lights.

We had a nice visit with them and they said they would see if they could make it down to Texas for a visit this winter.

So that's the  last we will see of the lake area until next spring.  Now we start planning towards our trip to our little trailer home in McAllen Texas.
